What it does

Literature Kol is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. This skill should be used when the user says "triage the [conference] abstracts", "what's the literature saying about [drug/mechanism]", "scan PubMed for X", "KOL view on [asset]", "evidence momentum for [class]", or ahead of major medical conferences (ASCO, AHA, ESMO, ADA, ACC).

Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/prompts.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. It works with PubMed. The repository describes itself as: Synthesis engine for buy-side healthcare equity research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Says triage the [conference] abstracts
  • Whats the literature saying about [drug/mechanism]
  • Scan PubMed for X
  • KOL view on [asset]

Example prompts

  • “triage the [conference] abstracts”
  • “s the literature saying about [drug/mechanism]”
  • “scan PubMed for X”
  • “/literature-kol”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. When titles drop ahead of a conference, run SUB-BIO-03 (in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/literature-kol/references/prompts.md): per covered…
  2. Respect embargo staging (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/CLAUDE.md): state exactly what is public now — title-level vs abstract text vs full…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c7bda8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Literature Kol loads about 599 tokens when it runs, and up to ~844 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~599
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~844

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Literature & KOL Scan

Turn the medical literature and conference flow into investment signal: abstract triage, evidence-momentum reads, and KOL mapping.

Conference abstract triage

  1. When titles drop ahead of a conference, run SUB-BIO-03 (in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/literature-kol/references/prompts.md): per covered name — what the abstract reports · prior data bar · stock-moving likelihood · session timing · competing assets to watch · top 3 for detailed read.
  2. Respect embargo staging (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/CLAUDE.md): state exactly what is public now — title-level vs abstract text vs full presentation — and never present title-implied results as data.

Evidence-momentum scan

  1. Use the PubMed connector to sweep recent publications for the asset/mechanism/indication: pivotal results, real-world evidence, meta-analyses, guideline updates, and editorials. Time-window the search and report counts honestly (publication momentum ≠ clinical superiority).
  2. Grade what you find by evidence hierarchy — RCT > large registry/RWE > single-arm > case series > opinion — and by journal/guideline weight. Extract the two or three findings that would move a model variable, and translate per references/evidence-translation-clinical.md.
  3. For preprints, use the biorxiv connector (if installed) and label non-peer-reviewed status explicitly.

KOL mapping

  1. Identify the field's voices from authorship patterns (last/corresponding authors on pivotal and guideline papers) and trial leadership (Clinical Trials connector investigator data). Note guideline-committee membership and disclosed conflicts (trial sponsorship).
  2. Output a ranked KOL shortlist with affiliation, why they matter, and the one question each could uniquely answer — feed it to provider-adoption kol-site-map (site overlap) and healthcare-equity meetings-experts (EN-01 call prep). Keep MNPI guardrails: public positions only.

End substantive analyses with the EVIDENCE BRIEF block (layer: clinical or competitive as applicable).
